Sweaters of the World, Unite!

Sauna and Human Health

The news is old. Sauna not only feels amazing (it’s possibly the world’s best natural stress relief) – but it’s also incredibly good for your health. This traditional knowledge has increasingly been confirmed by scientific studies over recent decades. This page is dedicated to documenting all such studies about the positive role of sweat bathing in physical and mental health.

Collecting this knowledge is crucial for making arguments to states and regulatory bodies to support the construction more sweat bathing infrastructure in human society – one of the key aims of the Global Saunatarian Movement.

Anybody who loves sauna will tell you – you feel incredible afterwards. But unlike most pleasures, sauna is actually good for you. It’s like the best kind of drug, with no negative side effects. And indeed, evidence is increasingly mounting that it’s positive for your health.
